In an interview with WDBJ television Washington & Lee University announced yesterday its current testing of the walking while working concept using TrekDesk Treadmill Desks.

The testing is occurring in three different locations at the university by employees under the supervison of Mary Katherine Snead, Director of W&L Worklife Initiatives and the university’s wellness program.

Cathy McElhannon, a W&L employee commented about the ease of walking and working with the TrekDesk Treadmill Desk, “People say I don’t know how you can do that. I can’t even talk and chew gum at the same time. I don’t even realize I’m walking.”

McElhannon went on to say during the interview that even after using the TrekDesk Treadmill Desks for just a few weeks she already feels healthier. “I’m really anxious to see if I lose weight and I’m hoping to lower my cholesterol too.”

“TrekDesks are in use in universities and colleges across the United States and internationally as well,” commented Steve Bordley, CEO of TrekDesk Treadmill Desks. “University wellness and research departments recognize the dire health landscape and are studying a variety of concepts to address the problem, TrekDesk is proving to be one of many successful solutions.”

Designed to fit any existing treadmill, TrekDesk is an affordable, full sized workstation allowing individuals the opportunity to gain the necessary amount of exercise daily to maintain health, prevent disease, strengthen muscles, boost mood and productivity, without requiring additional time during the day or extra motivation.
